Don’t Irvine Go There

EDDIE IRVINE , who once famously described Claudia Schiffer as "as ugly and fat as a pig", claims now that he was misunderstood. "What I said about [her] was taken out of context," he insisted in the Sunday Mirror this weekend. "I'm not blind!" Formula One ace Irvine, who regularly parties with the likes of Kate Moss , Jemma Kidd and Luciana Morad , admits that although he adores women, he is unlikely ever to settle down. "I'm not a great believer in marriage," he goes on. "It's just another step towards your coffin." And, boasting charm enough to be able to choose any woman he likes, Irvine is definitely quite picky. Presented with a choice of glamour model Jordan , it-girl and sometime catwalker Lady Victoria Hervey and Posh Spice Victoria Beckham , Eddie's decision is final. "None of them," he says. "Jordan is the name of my old team and I don't look back. I wouldn't go near Lady Victoria Hervey because of her relationship with David Coulthard. As for Posh Spice… I don't like spicy food."
